SAFETY ROADS (?) WITH MARIJUANA ... * USA
* Washington - CNN finds that pot smokers are actually pretty good drivers
(Video from YouTube, by TheNewsthatmatters1: "Drivers stoned on marijuana test their driving skills")
Seattle,WASH,USA -CNN/The Car connection, by Richard Read -20 Feb 2013: -- Back in November, voters in Colorado and Washington States legalized the recreational use of marijuana. And despite federal laws prohibiting pot possession, President Obama has said that arresting users in those two states isn't a top priority... Though several states have legalized medical marijuana, none had established an acceptable THC blood content level for drivers... Washington state set an official threshold of 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. Though the bill's authors insist that level is based on significant scientific evidence, some claim that it's completely arbitrary. How does 5 nanograms of THC affect drivers? CNN wanted to find out, so the network found an open test course in Washington state and three drivers willing to devote their lungs to an afternoon of "scientific" research. You can judge CNN's findings for yourself by watching the clip above...
